By Michael Deliberto, Ph.D.

The April Crop Market Update for Corn, Soybeans, Rice, and Cotton contains a discussion on USDA-reported supply and demand dynamics and farm price implications for the 2021/22 marketing year. The outside markets continue to monitor the Russia/Ukraine war as well as the slowing economy in China (due to the country’s COVID lockdown policy reducing import demand). Therefore, given these recent events impacting agriculture, this monthly report contains an expanded discussion on market volatility, continuing supply chain concerns, and dynamics of the global wheat market.
